Corey Cooper:
Version 3.4 is finally released! Please see below to download it.

You may be asking why this announcement is in the forums and not on the main website. The answer is simple: I have a bad habit of continuing to tinker. I had intended to apply only bug fixes and maybe a minor feature or two to beta 3 to arrive at the final version of 3.4, but I couldn't leave well enough alone. There's not a ton of changes, but more than I feel comfortable with releasing to the general TD audience. However, the beta has gone on long enough and therefore this is the final version 3.4. I would love for as many of you beta testers as possible to install and give it a go, just to make sure I didn't blow anything up. After a reasonable time, hopefully only a week or two, I'll put it up on the main site for general release. If anything needs fixing before then, we'll just jump right to version 3.4.1.

Once again thanks to everyone who has participated in this beta. Your participation and feedback has been crucial and is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Version 3.4.1 is now available. Download it from the Download page: http://www.thetournamentdirector.net/download

efdenny:
Installed over the beta, so far so good in a few trials. I will run a full game in two weeks, and will let you know what I find after that.

Corey Cooper:
I've found two bugs so far, both are minor and shouldn't affect the running of a tournament:

1) An error will appear if players are removed from the Tournament before the Players tab is ever viewed. This is related to the UI animations added in the final version of 3.4. The error occurs after the player is actually removed, so it doesn't affect any functionality. It's just annoying.

2) Hotkeys changes aren't saved. New code that does some hotkey modifications dealing with the split up of the Seating Chart page exposed a very rare, esoteric bug in the preferences code. There's no workaround.

Bug 1 could be fixed with a patch, but bug 2 is a little more difficult. I'll probably create a new version (3.4.1) and release it to the general public.

I've not seen another other bug reports, automated or otherwise. If anyone's found anything else, please share so I can investigate and get it into the new version.

Guerno:
Hi,

i think have seen a bug:

in the events,on the actions when i write a message, with the new TD 3.4.1, we cant use the token <nextAnte> or <nextBigBlind>or <breakText> for example.

thank's

Corey Cooper:
Actually, that's never been possible for events. But now that you mention it, I wonder how easy it would be to add many of the layout tokens to event messages...
